The fact that anyone who thought buying one of these was a good idea has enough money to do so is proof that we don't live in a meritocracy

Elon’s reality distortion field is almost as strong as Jobs’ was. The difference is that Jobs knew how to make a good product.

Jobs didn't know shit. He made a bunch of predictions, some of them right, some of them not at all right. He just took credit for other peoples' work, mostly Wozniak's. The man was every bit the piece of shit Elon is.

Worth listening to the 3-part series on Jobs from Behind the Bastards: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-terrible-secret-of-156343561/

I’m not saying he wasn’t a piece of shit, I’m just saying he would never sell a product with such piss poor quality as the Cybertruck like Elon does.

Yeah OK that's fair.
